Familiarity with ISO 50001 energy management standard

The ISO 50001 standard in the field of energy management has been accepted as an international standard for several years. This standard provides a framework for energy management and industrial facilities, financial facilities or organizations, which will have a wide applicability in different departments of organizations.

The energy management standard includes general elements that appear in all ISO management system standards and ensures a high level of device compliance with ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) standards.

ISO 50001 provides a framework for energy management in the organization, the main points of which are:

1. Energy use and consumption
2. Measuring, documenting, reporting energy use and consumption
3. Planning and designing, choosing and buying equipment and workspaces to reduce energy consumption
4. Controlling all the variables that are effective on the supply and consumption of energy used by the company.

Controls in the field of energy management include the following:

1. Monitoring, measurement and analysis of energy consumption
2. Assess compliance with system rules and requirements
3. Internal audit of the energy management system
4. Non-compliance, corrective, preventive and improvement action
5. Control of energy management records
6. Management review
